You really need to start calling on someone a little closer. Now we see how you were brought up and I am sure your parents would not be proud of you for taking the Lords name in vain. Oh and BTW "O" is not God.

Oh I don't believe that I'm making an assumption on this one. You may not be practicing but looking at past posts you've made leads me to believe I am correct. (02-17-2012)

Also in my research I've found where I pissed you off and you did something that you normally do not do. You had no come back and since your normal thing is to attack, attack and keep on attacking. Nothing. That is not your style. So I was moved up on your list and since then you have called me, ignorant fool, batshit crazy, a winner, lack integrity, insecure and a hypocrite and all the while you say I insulted you by referring to you as my junior. (which you are by a couple of decades or so). But that's okay. You have been attacking folks on this forum for a long time. Some of the terms you have used on them include: total dickness (02-14-2012), misguided losers (02-22-2012), least insightful (02-19-2012), right-wing loons (02-10-2012) and the list goes on. Some folks thrive on this type of thing and it seems you do. So go for it. Some have figured you out and others will. So don't be surprised when you attack they will no longer get sucked in and after awhile you'll do like so many others like yourself. You'll just go away.

There is no need to reply because I won't. Even if you do and call me additional names I will not get drawn into another pissing contest with you again. I said that once before, but this time I'm done.

god OP has a stick shoved up his ass.
You know why our country is the way it is? because of assholes from both sides. We should be supporting our president no matter what party he is. Not everyone can get what they want. People calling him communist, muslim, whatever is just being ignorant and dumb.

1930's germany? Grow up. The USA is nowhere near that LOL.

Being president is probably the worst job. Everyone is always bashing and hating on you. If you don't like how things are going, then send a letter to your state representative and try to actually make a change then just yelling out crap

get out the Greece and bend over!!...the fact that Miss Fluke stated, on the National stage, that she was a promiscuous female and that is sad. I am not drinking the Kool-aid as you are young man. But you all have one thing in common. NO COMMON SENSE. No you do not have a life of your own. you can express your hate and contempt for your fellow Americans. I get the feeling you may not have received that type of training when you were younger. Now we see how you were brought up. The way he throws Ex orders about it reminds me of 1930's Germany. I didn't realize you were an atheist. You've got an answer for everything don't you! Most folks like you usually do.

If you step back and look at the politics/religion forum, it's nothing more than an outlet for anti-democrat Obama haters. I never start threads, I only come to the defense of the democratic party when people are posting false information, like you unapologetically did with Sandra Fluke. So, even though I'm joined by about half the country idealogically, on this forum I'm treated like the outcast. Hopefully that explains the defensiveness.

I can't get over the ignorance, and lack of respect and tolerance for the diversity of opinion that this country allows us to express. One thing's for sure: BMW ownership does not make a unifying community.

So, your intolerance of opinions other than yours is OK. Got it.

I won't get into the discussion of facts, because that's one thing. Blatantly making something up and stating it as fact is wrong, as you've pointed out already (not going to beat a dead horse). However you specifically said you have a problem with the lack of tolerance for diverse opinions and how the country allows us to express them. Are you saying that people should not be allowed to express their opinions just because they don't fall in line with yours?

I think differing opinions makes us a better society in the long run, although some people take it too far. That doesn't mean we shouldn't be allowed to express them though...

See how everything I say gets turned around? If I said "beating children is bad", you'd say "did you say we should beat children badly?"

Our country (the USA) is built around the right to have and express one's own opinion. You with me so far?

This forum, however, does not respect that right. Unlike the American populace at-large, which is comprised of people of all viewpoints, this forum has a demographic which flames anyone who supports our president, or sides with the democrats.

For the past year, the Republican candidates have made a very interesting campaign, yet every post here is about Obama. Look at all the threads and tell me honestly that there's no bias here!

I'm not saying there isn't a bias. I agree with you. I was just asking for clarification, because in your post you made it seem that those with differing opinions from you are automatically irrelevant and they shouldn't have the right to express their opinion. So thank you, and perhaps I read it wrong or didn't read into it enough. All I was doing was asking for clarification, I wasn't trying to twist your words. My at the end was intended as a form of sarcasm, I'm sorry if it didn't seem so.

The internet is a funny thing. With anonymity comes stupidity and ignorance. It's a lot easier to be a total jerk behind a keyboard. A lot of the people here who constantly flame/harrass you probably wouldn't do so in an open forum in the real world, and you know this to be true. That being said, I think this part of the forum as a whole is a pretty bad spot, it seems it's nothing but flames going both ways, some in defense and some just to troll.

All I can say is that you seem to be the minority here (Democrat) and you get bashed for it every day. I'm not saying it's right, just calling it like I see it. It seems a lot of people here (or at least the ones who post here) are die hard Repubs, so naturally there would be a clash of opinions. And since it's the internet, people are free to be total d-bags with no consequences (such as looking like an asshat in real life in front of other people). The forum here provides the anonymous an opportunity to just put you down constantly, and as long as they aren't breaking the rules, it's perfectly allowed and there are no consequences.

I think the internet isn't the best place to try to really argue/debate politics, and especially not on a car enthusiast forum. There are good places on the internet, but they are moderated accordingly. A car enthusiast site with a sub-forum for politics won't bring out the cream of the crop when it comes to political debates I feel. Also, not saying that debate shouldn't be allowed here, but do you truly expect to engage in a civilized debate here, especially given the forum's history?

I understand and actually commend you for sticking it out this long, because a lot of people would have just said, "F&^% it," and stopped trying to defend their party/position to some of the people here (who in all honesty are pretty clueless or plain religious fanatics).

Well said. I actually don't make a regular habit of posting in this sub-forum, so I'll go a few weeks out, and then I see a post that I want to respond to, and that'll get me back in for a week or so, until someone is banned or suspended. Now that I think about it, it's often one of my older posts that someone rips-apart anew, which pulls me back in.

Well, I guess I'll be out again. I hope that doesn't "embolden" the terrorists in this forum.
